Fuelled by grittily compacted rock and backed by a raw bluesy croak, AC/DC were one of the hottest bands in the 70s and 80s. And even still – after frontman Bon Scott’s death in 1980 and decades on – the band’s legendary sound and music influence remains strong.
Formed by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young in 1973, AC/DC scream all things rock n’ roll. With meaty guitar licks, powerful vocals and unprecedented snarls that have a real sting to it, their sound – a true masterpiece – was defined very quickly.
Highway to Hell was the fifth studio album released by AC/DC. As the last album that featured Bon Scott – it’s one of their most influential; laced with dirty rock riffs, blues flavour and super charged dynamics. With a Chuck Berry influenced rock n’ roll sound, AC/DC produced an album that was hard in flavour and filled with rock aggression like no other.
Breathtaking and ferociously potent, AC/DC led their fans to commercial heights. With magnetic personalities, blues swagger and slow flirtations – they created an album that drove fans wild, fulfilled musicians and inspired the dull.
